well its present purpose as the receptacle OF
marauding outlaws and murderers. The
Apaches are among the most warlike and ca

In the mail for the Governor yesterday

appeals to the warmest sympathies of the
heart. The communication represents
"that the condition of the inhabitants of
Medina, Frio, Atascosa and several other
counties in southwestern Texas, who
are now suffering from the effects of
the prolonged drouth, demands relief from
the state. In Medina county there a c

ages. The great storehouses contained tons OF
the best grades of sugar, coffee and other goods
doled out regularly to heads of families. The
supplies brought to the one. agency filled
thirty-five railroad cars q month, not to
speak of live stock driven in, the agency and
pens at the time containing 5000 head of fat
cattle, the winters supply. For violating the
rules of the agency the Indians have their
supplies shortened or cut off. Red Cloud, the
noted Sioux chief, was suffering the pains
and penalties of an offended law at the time
of our visit. His rations of sugar had been
cut off Only the best grade of granulated
sugar is furnished to the red wards of the
nation. These petty exactions of the agents
vex and annoy the Indians, and when tired
of gambling and loafing, they take little
whirl on the warpath.
The horrors of the warfare so long MAIN
tanned by a band Of Apaches under Natchez,
Mangus and Geronimo, and the expensive
campaign which resulted in their capture, are
matters Of recent history. For time the
war department was puzzled to know just
what to do with them, whether to convert
them into good Indians by shooting them, or
to return them to the reservation with risk
of their breaking out again in a new spot.
Happy thought, they were taken to Florida
for their health A job lot Of bad ones,
seventeen in number, was picked out, and
sent to Fort Pickens, at Pensacola, while the
rest of the band, AT in ALL bucks, squaws
and children, was taken to Fort Marion, at
st. Augustine. Forty-four children were
afterward sent to the Carlisle school. The
select party at Fort Pickens includes Chiefs
Natchez and Mangus and medicine man Ge-
ronimo, pronounced er-on-imo, Spanish for
Jerome The former are the hereditary
chiefs, the latter only so by the appointment
of an agent, as was the case with Sitting Bull,
the medicine chieftain Of the Sioux. Many
of the depredations committed in Arizona
and New Mexico are attributed to the band
commanded by these rascals, and their cap
ture brought a feeling of peace, relief and
security to many community in those ter
ritories.
Fort Pickens stands on Santa Rosa island,
and with Fort Barrancas OH the opposite
shore of the main land, guards the entrance
to the harbor Of Pensacola. During the war
Pickens remained in the possession of the
Federal troops, having successfully resisted
capture and bombardment from the Confed-
crate batteries at Forts Barrancas and Nc

is extended quickly and generously.
There is no grass for stock, very little
stock water; what cattle are here are
miserably poor, horses in same condition.
There is no sale for horses or cattle.
The people in this county
made very inferior crops last year.
Scarce any at ALL and not over abundant
crops the year before. The grain of last
year and the year before in some locali-
ties is entirely gone, and in other locali-
ties very nearly so. Very many families
stock and have no means of replacing
them. The seed corn and cotton planted
in the winter and early spring have rot
ted in the ground, and those whose plant
ing rotted have no money to pur-
chase more. The merchants refuse credit,
being unable to longer carry their former
customers. This is but faint pic
ture of the condition of the great
mass of the people of this county. No
money, no credit, no prospect for crops
this year, no property that can be sold or
pledged or mortgaged for bread stuffs.
Very many are subsisting solely upon half
rations of dry corn bread and tank water.
And from our information we believe that
the condition of the people of Atascosa,
Frio, part of Bexar, Edwards, Uvalde and
Bandera to be similar to that of our peo-
pie. Coming as we do from the different
precincts of our county, we know we have
. not misreprEsented or overstated facts,
but have rather understated the real
misery and destruction existing in our
midst. Our county cannot alleviate the
: condition of the people, nor can any OF
our neighboring counties. We would
therefore request that your excellency
convene the legislature in extra session
as speedily as possible in order that they
may devise some mode by which oul
people can be saved from restitution

that in this country 1000 offers are hunted

loud talk and q little serious thought.
The government is feeding the Indians,
thus rendering them even more worthless and
useless than i'll their indigenous condition,
while the negro is making an attempt to iced
himself. There is no need of any solicitude
for John Chinaman's welfare; he knows
pretty well how to look out for number one,
except when the "Melican man be too
dammee feshee" The Chinese question is
one not to be sneezed at.
Poor Lo, over whom good deal of poetry
and sentiment has been wasted, is increasing
in numbers 1t is the opinion OF those VINO
have studied the question that there are more
Indians now than when the country was first
discovered by the whites. The early ex-
plorers found Indian villages scattered along
the seaside and water courses, and it was easy
to imagine that the interior was thus popu-
lated, which, however, was not true. Under
the present fostering care of the government
new names are daily added to the lists at the
agencies; every new pappoose brings more
supplies to the tepee When well fed the
Indians are usually tractable, but shorter
their allowances and let the clever frontiers
men shoot few Of t EN- for fun, then savage
retaliation follows.
In Arizona there are no less than l5,OO'

warriors into dependents upon the bounty o.
